On your commercial property any time of year is appropriate to hand-remove weeds and for common lawn weeds such as dandelion and plantains, there are a host of tools available (commonly called ‘weed poppers’) that are extremely effective in the complete removal of ‘tap-rooted’ weeds.
If your staff doesn’t mind bending over or getting on their hands and knees, you can achieve the same result with a sturdy pocket or utility knife. If they commit a few minutes a day to hand-removal, you will be surprised what an impact they can have over several days of effort.
We fully understand that time is money. Hand removal is the most environmentally friendly, however, hand-removal of creeping weeds with fibrous root systems is often very limited in success and can be quite frustrating in terms of the effort expended and the limited level of control. Especially in these cases, herbicides are often the most effective and cost effective method(s) for winter weed control.
What can or should be done about summer annual or perennial weeds during the Arizona spring? The basic answer is ‘very little to nothing’. These weeds have either just completed their life cycle and will die upon first frost (the annuals, things like crabgrass, foxtail, or spurge) or they have begun to enter their winter dormancy period (weeds like dallisgrass, wiregrass. Other than mechanically removing them, there is no point in trying to control them during their spring lifecycle with selective herbicides.
